And I wasnt an impersonator, but I thought I was fabulous!

In a 1992 interview withThe Los Angles Times, Kavner said, “Why destroy the illusion for children?

Still, you have to wonder how Jennifer Tilly would have sounded as Marge.

But it’s a role she landed in 1998 that horror fans will remember Tilly best for.

Tilly joked, “For this I went to acting school.

I have a BFA in Theater.”

Jennifer Tilly didn’t become Marge Simpson, but maybe that was for the best.

She’s far more suited to the complexities of Tiffany Valentine.
